What is home energy storage?

  • Home energy storage involves the use of batteries to store excess energy generated by renewable sources, such as solar panels, for later use.

  • Energy storage systems store excess energy during periods of low demand and release it when demand is high, providing homeowners with a reliable and continuous power supply.
  • Benefits include reduced reliance on the grid, potential cost savings, backup power during outages, and the ability to maximize the use of renewable energy.
  • PowerHub uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) which has greater thermal stability and is more environmentally sustainable than nickle manganese cobalt oxcide (NMC).
  • The greenworks PowerHub is covered by a 12 Year Warranty, but you can expect to get up to 20 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
  • Yes, the PowerHub home energy storage system can be used for off-grid living, allowing homeowners to rely entirely on renewable energy sources.
  • The size depends on factors such as energy consumption, the capacity of renewable energy sources, and the desired duration of backup power during outages.
  • In some regions, there are government incentives, tax credits, or rebates to encourage the adoption of home energy storage systems. It's advisable to check local regulations.
  • Installation complexity varies, we recommend using a NABCEP certified professional to ensure proper setup and compliance with safety standards.
  • The Greenworks PowerHub comes with a 5 circuit Smart Switch, allowing you to monitor and control energy usage remotely.
  • Maintenance requirements are low, but regular checks and software updates are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
  • Home energy storage can contribute to a more sustainable energy system by promoting the use of renewable energy sources and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
